WOW. what a pleasant, wonderful surprise. I had preconceived notions about this book, that it would be a feel good, happily ever after story.
I had no idea it was a true story. I had no idea it has a spiritual basis.
This was the BEST book I have read in a long, long time.

Denver's life, on a plantation was no less than slavery. but it was all he knew. Until one day, he hopped a train and ended up in Texas.
There, God cross his paths with a wealthy, unlikely couple whom He used to create a bonding friendship.

Other than the author's talk of Large sums of money made and donated, I loved every word. DO not look at the photos until you are done, there is a subtle spoiler there.
